GPS Usage ~ P900

I just received my P900, which came standard with a USA+Canada map license. I also purchased the Western & Eastern Europe Map license.

There are no instructions in the Model P900 User Manual as to how to use the GPS function. I am able to see USA maps on it, and I basically understand what I need to do, as I have a Tom Tom and an additional GPS in one of my cars.

I cannot see any way to switch to the European maps from the USA/Canda maps.

I'd appreciate some assistance. It would also be highly benefical to include a section on GPS usage in the User Manual.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi,

Thanks for your question! I think the packages with GPS in them are supposed to have a small insert with instructions on the GPS (it is a newer feature so we have not added it to the users manual yet.)

I don't have my personal model in front of me but i believe to switch maps you have to do the following (working off memory here).

1) Go into the "navigation system"
2) Press the green "menu" button on the bottom left.
3) Press the arrow key down and go into settings
4) Something like maps or change maps should be there. (this is the part i cant remember 100%).

Please let me know if you can find the feature. If not i can get you perfect instructions on within 24 hours!

I was able to find the European Map using your instructions. It's called a "Multi-Map" in the device. It's under the menu selection MAP.

I'd REALLY appreciate it if there's some way you could email me a .pdf copy of the instructions for the GPS feature. It's rough
